Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined to create the marinade for the chicken.

  2. Place the chicken tenderloins in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is coated evenly. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the marinated chicken tenderloins to the pan, reserving the excess marinade.

  4. Cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Make sure to baste the chicken with the remaining marinade as it cooks to enhance the flavors.

  5. Once the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), remove it from the skillet and transfer it to a serving plate.

  6. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the cooked chicken tenderloins. Sprinkle some chopped green onions on top for an extra burst of freshness and color.

  7. Serve the Honey Chicken Tenderloins hot alongside your favorite sides, such as steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh garden salad.
